Re: Kat and Scor
Kat was surprised that Scor would openly state that Ted Lupin, his mother and grandmother wasn't considered family. She remembered seeing him at functions at Malfoy Manor, though with the Malfoys they were always huge so of course what Scor said could be true, even if it sounded very strange. Why invite them if they considered them disowned, it made little sense to her.
She only smiled, saying nothing to the information though it was obvious to her why Professor Black had left the wedding. The guest list sounded like a slap in the face.
"I haven't got enough information to say anything," she said with a smile. "Though not inviting your parents was breech of etiquette that could possibly explain the departure." She shrugged. "But no need to dwell on the things we do not know for certain.
She laughed when he went on. "Darling, it's not about you actually dating, it's about making women believe you're dating." She grinned. "It's all about what image you project. The right pureblood girls hanging on your arm at the right functions. Speculations on who is your current girlfriend. More speculations on who the next Mrs Malfoy will be as you make the most eligible bachelor again and again.I"
"It's all image. You can go years without anything serious with the right image." She laughed. "Why am I even telling you these things? You already know them!" Everyone did. "Why don't we move around a bit, see if we can prevent ourselves from freezing to death. Perhaps we'll be allowed to go back to the castle soon." After all, so far nothing was happening. Surely there was no real danger this time.
